The musical convention held here
last week was successful beyond antici-
patton. Prof. c. L. White, music teach
er who has been teaching the Craftsbury
band, music scholars at So. Albany and
ClSC elk u IlHo SA1AN PiOPO&
assist the band in a musical convention
of three days, which should be practi-
cally a benefit for the band boys. The
band has given much time and practice
until they nave become very skillful in
the use of their instruments, while they
have been very generous in playing for
entertainments, etc. gratis. A public
invitation was extended to all musicians,
and the houses of the people were thrown
open to entertain all who came. About
seventy-five joined the chorus and the
orchestra, and were thoroughly drilled
and led by Prof. White. Among the
most prominent musicians present from
out of town we mention A. r. Cowles
of Barton Landing, Mrs. Miller of Low
ell. Schuyler Chandler of Albany, S. 7.
Pinney of Greensboro, Mr.. Cass of Shelf
field, and Mrs. H. T. Seave of Barton.
Mrs. Seaver and Miss Ida Williams of
So. Albany played the piano. Mrs. Sea-
yer deserved credit, not only for her adj
mirable playing, but tor the effort she
made to help the convention in other di-
rections Miss Williams, for a lady OF
her years, did remarkably well. The
Whitney orchestra from No CraftSbury,
contributed much to the pleasure and
good of the convention and the closing
concert. Mr.. Cowles furnished one of
his excellent pianos and helped material
ly in chorus and in songs. Mr.. Pinney,
always a host, did just as we'll as he did
before he was made postmaster. Mention
ought to be made Of the Asa Hartman
family who were helpful in the choruses,
in songs and in the concert. A little
daughter handled the piano beautifully.
j. B. Calderwood, a neighbor from the
Greensboro side, gave the young people
an example of fine song singing. Dr..
Templeton also sang a song or two in
excellent taste. The chorus took up
some hard and difficult music which was
wei, rendered. There was a large at
tendance at the closing concert and ev-
erything went off satisfactorially. The
band and the public praise Mr.. White
for his management of the convention,
aud his efficiency in making it a success.
The net proceeds were about $50.

Grout, and others, for the interest
they nave taken in her case.
